This week we talk about the question, "Who inspires you?" This past week my mother had Wayne Dyer come and spend time with her in her home in Pheonix, he is one of major sources of Inspiration... Who is yours?

My new mantra, ICAN! Use it to its fullest in your life to inspire you everyday!!!

Can there really be that much difference between 211 degrees and 212 degrees? Water boils at 212 and that makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

This week I tell you what is on my mind with the two books I am reading. One I just finished, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and one I have just started that was released this week The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon.

What is your unique abiliy or area of brilliance? Focus on that and deligate everything else, you don't have to do everything yoursellf!

For 2007 narrow your focus to 3 areas of your life and come up with a one word FOCUS for each. So what is your one word focus for your FAMILY, for your BUSINESS, and for your PERSONAL life?

What kinds of things do you fear? Write out a list in your journal, highlight the ones you struggle with from time to time. Most people deal with fear by: 1. Moving away from fear "repression" 2. Fighting it 3. Moving toward it or through fear. Write out what you fear and ask these 5 questions: 1. (intellectual) "What do I not yet understand?" 2. (emotional) "What is it I'm really feeling?" 3. (Physical) "What do I not yet see?" 4. (inner knowing) "What does my intuitive wisdom say?" 5. (curious child) "What does the little kid in me have to say?" Feel the fear and do it anyway! (Great book too!!)

This week's podcast gives you a little exercise to inspire you FOREVER! Listen for six and a half minutes and then go do the exercise RIGHT NOW, you will use it the rest of your life, and those that come in the distant future will get a good look into your life!

The morning time is the only time to exercise if you really plan on sticking to it! 3 out 4 people who exercise in the morning are still doing it a year later. Half of those who do it in the afternoon don't stick to it a year later. And only one in four who excercise at night can keep to their guns. So play BIG and 'Just DO IT' as Nike says. You'll feel better the first day - instant gratification!

This week our thoughts center around the work of Ekhart Toll, one of my favorite authors, and his beautiful book The Power Of Now. When we constantly think about the past or the future our energy is both here and there. When we think of another time and living now, we are essentially plistting our energy and weakening it with each past or future thought. But when we tap into the power of now, oh it is fantastic! We allow all of our energy to be in one place. Not in the future or in the past, but NOW. Like just this morning I was sitting in the hot tub with my oldest son, Kadyn, and we watched the sunrise come up over the Wasatch Mountains, I was able to talk to him. I asked him my question I ask everyday, "What was your favorite thing you did yesterday?" As he was talking to me, I was completely capitvated by his story from his previous day. His eyes were alive, his gestures so animated, and I could just see the joy in his little 7 year old eyes. That my friends was experiencing the power of being present, THE POWER OF NOW. So here is the tip of the week, try this... Be present in each moment. When you are talking to your friend, don't think of what you are going to make for dinner. Only talk to your friend. When you are playing with your kids, watch thier expressions. Feel their love. When you do this with increasing frequency a tremendous amount of positive energy will be created and amazing things will happen in your life. Because this experience of life is PRECIOUS MOMENTS, BE PRESENT!!
